The History of the Group
ADHD Malta was established in 1996 by a small group of parents whose teenage children had been diagnosed with ADHD. At the time, reliable information and specialised support in Malta were extremely limited, leaving families to navigate significant challenges on their own.
Determined to better understand ADHD and to support their children effectively, these parents sought information and guidance primarily from sources in the United States and the United Kingdom, where awareness and research around ADHD were more developed. As their knowledge grew, so did their desire to ensure that other families would not have to face the same isolation and uncertainty.
This led to the formal establishment of the group as a non-governmental organisation (NGO), with the aim of sharing information, supporting parents and individuals affected by ADHD, and raising awareness among professionals working in education, healthcare, and related fields.
Today, the group continues to build on the commitment and values it was founded on. ADHD Malta remains a point of reference for anyone seeking information, understanding, and support, staying true to its original mission of advocacy, education, and community.
